Cliven Bundy’s black bodyguard claims rancher is NOT racist and he would ‘happily’ take a bullet for him as pressure grows

So much for those silly pundits who are calling him a racist. Maybe if they got out into the real world once in a while they’d appreciate some honest Americans.
Check it out:

Despite a collection of seemingly racist rants about ‘negros,’ slavery and ‘picking cotton,’ not everyone thinks Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy is a racist, and one of the people defending the one-time far-right-wing folk hero is one of his bodyguards – who happens to be black.

Jason Bullock has been at Bundy’s side since his battle with the federal government began heating up in late March. According to Bullock, the man he’s come to know over the last month is not a racist.
In fact, Bullock says he would take a bullet for Bundy.

Bullock was recently interviewed by CNN and asked, ‘You’re protecting this man and he’s wondering whether African-Americans would be better off as slaves. How does that strike you?’

‘It doesn’t strike me any kind of way,’ Bullock answered. ‘This is still the same old Mr. Bundy I met from the first day of all this happening.’

Bullock says the things Bundy has been saying – ‘wondering’ if ‘negros’ were better off under slavery, and comparing himself to civil rights hero Rosa Parks, for example – don’t offend him.

‘Mr. Bundy is not a racist. Ever since I’ve been here he’s treated me with nothing but hospitality,’ Bullock told the reporter. ‘He’s pretty much treated me like his own family.’

He goes on to say that ‘I would take a bullet for that man, if need be,’ and that he ‘look(s) up to him just like I do my grandfather.’
